BUA 2024 (Classic NTNU) Presentations by Mr. Karl Fredrik Honningsvåg

Ylva Seierstad, NTNU Norway
Ylva is originally from Lofoten in Northern Norway. She has studied one year at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), and is currently in the final year as a student at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). She is in the process of writing my diploma in architecture, focusing on the densification and development of small cities and towns using traditional and local building practices and identity as a starting point. She has also attended Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) in Austria for a year as an exchange student. She is part of the second generation students to form the classical studio in Trondheim.
Classical Studio - Museum and Planetarium in Trondheim
Last semester, a classical studio was held at NTNU, where the students where introduced to the principles of the classical tradition, as well as traditional methods of producing and presenting a project, such as the art of watercolouring.Two tasks were completed during the semester, the first being an exercise of and a first introduction to classical design where the students were given a plan drawing and a set of requirements the building had to fulfil, such as having a portico, a gallery and a dome. The final task was to design a science and astronomy museum, with a planetarium. The project was placed to a real site in Trondheim. Seierstad will present her latter project, with a focus on the plan and the façade. She will also discuss the process and the experiences of the studio in general.

Karl Frederik Honningsvåg, NTNU Norway
Karl Fredrik is an architecture student at NTNU, who has worked with traditional and classical architecture throughout his master's degree. He is now working on his diploma thesis where he works to challenge the notion at NTNU that explicitly classical architecture cannot fulfill our modern requirements for buildings.
Architectural water colour rendering on the drawings of new large classical buildings
Architectural water painting and colouring is an art form that has long been lost among Norwegian architects - for a very long time. In the talk he will present an alternative proposal for the National Museum in Oslo - that shows how classical principles and classical practices deployed to large scale museum buildings could be done in our time. He will also show how the detailed architectural drawings can be given life, realism and depth by using architectural watercolor rendering.
